what I know though is that the device manufacturers are obligated by license to give you the kernel source code for the device on request, because linux is gpl.
but they are not obligated to provide you hardware drivers and device trees that are not included in the kernel. you may still ask in case they care, but it's probably rare they provide that. sometimes it's hard even to get their kernel source code.
